Nia

Among the students of the Elysian mage guild "Light of the Grand," Nia is best known for two things: her incredible talent for sigil-based magic, and her acerbic attitude. Not one to mince her words, Nia's sarcastic wit has landed her in heated situations too often for the average person to be comfortable with, but it doesn't seem to faze this young sorceress in the least. After all, much like her senior and idol Elaina—known in legends as the Time-Weaver—she was never an adherent of stuffy principles and conservative traditions. During Elaina's time at the guild, Nia looked up to her as both a mentor and a friend, as the two shared similar backgrounds. Nia only had hazy childhood memories of a terminally ill mother; her father, a war deserter, soon followed her to the grave. Left on the doorsteps of the guild, the mages took her in, and soon discovered her talent for sorcery. It was through a show of academic brilliance that Nia was introduced to Elaina. The two grew to be nearly inseparable, studying the intricacies of magic together. When Elaina parted ways with the guild to join the mercenaries, Nia had insisted on coming with her, but was gently (yet firmly) convinced to complete her studies. For the sake of reuniting with the only family she has, Nia resolved to make it through each and every boring lecture.
